symptoms before periods
Many changes take place in women's body and mood before their periods. Some women start feeling symptoms a few days before their period date, while others may notice these signs 1-2 weeks before.
This condition is called PMS (premenstrual syndrome), which can sometimes be a sign of health problems. Let us know which warning signs should not be ignored during this time.
Common symptoms of PMS
PMS symptoms usually appear a week or two before the start of periods and begin to subside as soon as periods start. Common symptoms include bloating, mild pain, headache, breast tenderness, fatigue, changes in sleep and mood swings.
Some women have more desire to eat sweet or salty food during this period. If these symptoms remain the same every month and go away after periods, then there is nothing to worry about.
Warning Signs that should not be ignored
If you experience extreme mood swings before periods and are unable to control your emotions, it is wrong to consider it as normal PMS.
If you are experiencing severe or persistent pelvic pain, it may be a sign of endometriosis, fibroids, or other health problems.
It is necessary to consult a specialist if you feel excessive anger, anxiety or depression before periods every month.
If a lump appears in the breast before periods, it should not be ignored.
If these symptoms are recurring, consult a doctor.
